What is Polyhydramnios? 💧🤰

Too much of a good thing? 💦 Polyhydramnios refers to excessive amniotic fluid during pregnancy. While rare, understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatments can ensure a safer pregnancy journey. 🌼 Let’s learn more about it!

[greatbigbellies]

So you're REALLY into polyhydroaminos... I'd google it but fetish logic and real conditions don't overlap, so what does that mean to you?

👀It's funny cause at first I was like "I mean I'm into it but I'm not THAT into it, I'm about as into it as I am into anything else that makes a pregnant tummy bigger" and then I took two seconds to consider just HOW into pregnant bellies I am and... yeah I'm pretty into it lol. It's good flavor for making a pregnancy even larger and more cumbersome (It helps that everyone ordering off of the McPreggo menu lately has been getting the sandwich that gives you polyhydramnios so like... I've been able to bring it up a lot).

I mean for me, my understanding is pretty much that google definition of "medical condition which causes increased/too much amniotic fluid in the womb" and like... I like that. It makes a belly not just larger but tighter, too. And you can really tell! I can't find her any more but there was one woman whos pregnancy pictures were circulating around and she had developed a really intense case of it and straight up, this sounds fake but I'm not making this up, her treatment actually included draining some of the excess fluid out of her. And in the progression, you can tell when they did it, because there's a bandage on her tummy and she's visibly smaller. She had so much extra fluid that when they took it out you could VISIBLY TELL. Maybe I'm just weird but that shit's hot.

Like, if you want a great example of what polyhydramnios does to a pregnant belly, one really good recent example (which if you've been around this circle of tumblr in the last few months you've probably seen her) is THIS LADY HERE. She had the triple threat of being quite short (like 5"1' if not less), getting pregnant with twins, and then of course polyhydramnios on top of it. In that last link especially, you can SEE how tightly stretched she is. Her belly is downright SHINY because of how full she is. That's not oiled up, that's just dry, bare skin. That's just what she looked like. And while she would have definitely been huge with just twins and being short, the extra fluid really pushed her over the top. There's tons of footage of her cause she's an influencer and there's a bit where someone asks if she can squeeze her thighs together while sitting down with her belly so big and she attempts it... and quickly fails. You see her belly shift up as she tries but she's so big and heavy that she had to keep her legs apart just to sit.

Anyway, probably more text than you expected off of a short ask but... I have THOUGHTS on that condition and my thoughts are it's very sexy.

Mpreg waddle #6

Kuba and Michał had always been the picture perfect corporate couple in Katowice.

They both worked high powered jobs in different sectors of the cities booming business district - Kuba worked in finance and Michał in marketing. There lives were a whirlwind of meetings, deadlines and social events, but beneath the surface they always wanted to start a family.

After a lot of planning and research they decided to embark on the groundbreaking path of male pregnancy.

Michał volunteered to carry the baby his hips and deeper abdominal area turned out to be better to accommodate the growing baby.

However as they entered the third trimester something unusual started to happen.

Now at 36 weeks Michał was much larger than they had ever anticipated. The doctor had a show them that there was no cause for concern. Their baby was healthy. The reason for his oversized was that Michał was carrying an unusually large amount of amniotic fluid - condition known as polyhydramnios.

It simply meant that me who had to carry more weight which made him feel much bigger and happier than other expectant parents at this stage.

Despite the challenges Michał has grown news to his massive belly and Kuba admired how well his boyfriend managed the situation. He often joked about how Michał looked like he was smuggling a beach bowl under his shirt.

Kuba loved talking to the baby and taking care of his pregnant boyfriend - preparing meals, rubbing his back when the weight became too much and whispering about the life they would soon have as a family.

Reflecting on my hardest pregnancy so far, which was my 3rd. My fatigue symptoms were so severe it felt like I could hardly stay awake. I developed polyhydramnios, it didn't cause any complications. But, my legs and feet were so swollen and my stomach was so stretched tight and full of amniotic fluid that it ached and itched all the time. I was so packed tight that I was breathless when doing anything but laying down, just sitting up even felt like it was squishing my lungs. And the heartburn sucked so bad. I was non stop eating yogurt and bananas just to soothe the burning. Towards the end I was on bed rest to reduce the pressure on my cervix, and to help prevent him from being a preemie. I relied so much on others to help take care of my other two boys during that time, it was hard.

I'll never forget the different shocked looks on my friends and families faces when I announced that I was pregnant again after that. I'm sure most of them thought the tribulations of my third pregnancy would have me stop there instead of going on to have more. But they can't understand the beautiful peace and purpose I felt when being handed Silas for the first time as Grant kissed me on the forehead and told me he wanted another.

I tend to keep politics off my tumblr because I am active enough in real life and this is my escape, but the coming US election is, well, concerning. I am going to share a very personal story here. Trigger warnings for pregnancy and baby loss.

In July 2016, I got pregnant. My husband and I were newlyweds and we were actively trying for a baby. Surprise! We ended up with two! Identical twin boys! I don’t think I have ever been so purely happy in my life. Unfortunately, the joy was short-lived. James and Sam shared a placenta, which is… not good. Sparing the details, both boys died in utero halfway through the pregnancy. The trouble was that I did not go into labor. I carried their little bodies within my own for two long weeks, waiting. At last, the doctors decided that they needed to take action before sepsis set in and killed me too. However, I couldn’t be induced because I was suffering from severe polyhydramnios. Labor would have ruptured my uterus and killed me. Ultimately, my doctor elected to do a D&E.

Here’s where politics come into it. The D&E is a procedure that is specifically banned by many anti-abortion laws. Banned in all cases. Because its only purpose is to remove a fetus that is past the first trimester. In states with second-trimester abortion bans, the D&E is often illegal, regardless of circumstance. Had I gone through this experience in 2024 in a state with an abortion ban, I would be dead. Instead, I went to the hospital, had my life-saving surgery, and went home to grieve my sons.

I have lived eight beautiful years since then. I have had two more healthy children. I have a life that Republicans would have taken from me. They would gladly see me dead for the sin of losing my babies.

This election will change life for millions. This election matters. Your vote matters. It is literally life and death. If you are an American who is eligible to vote, then vote, and vote like your life depends on it. Because it just might.

[obscenely-overdue]

how many are you carrying? and would you ever want to carry again?

Two very big, healthy twins, with some moderate polyhydramnios which the doctors keep a close eye on (extra amniotic fluid, to save you the google search). It explains why I'm so big despite my height.

I think after these two are born, after my body as recovered and we're all settled... I could definitely go for round two. It's very straining, and has a lot of hassles, but I have a great support network to help, and honestly, I love how I feel when I'm pregnant. I'm gonna miss this when I give birth, and I'll need to remind myself not to rush back into it immediately, even if I'd like to...

Gotta get my money's worth out of my maternity clothes, though, right?

[metamorphosisme]

My goal for today was to shower and do my hair to take a pregnancy pic but I feel like the only thing I'm actually gonna get done is moving my safe food meal pictures to a separate folder 📂 🙃

1 more week to go before babys here! So scared to see what the scale end result is. 😕 I ended up having polyhydramnios so im absolutely, grossly, full of water / overweight -.-

Really hoping my skin will love me :c if anyone has some tricks to help get shape back and to treat skin after pregnancy feel free to comment!!

[andros-paidophonoio]

war scenes: And fell noble Polyhydramnios, whose skull was pierced by godlike Hector. Death wrapped around him. His wife and son back home waited in vain for his return, and his father grew old in their house and heard his voice never again

Cut to the Gods:

Hera: u better not be watching that TRASH TV husband. If I catch u messing with the war again ur losing ur Man Cave privileges

Zeus: haha I'd like to see u try again [audience laugh tracks] *looks directly at the audience* That's just how the Wife is always like, right fellas *wink*

reading the iliad is crazy bc it just wildly flip flops between divine sitcom, the horrors of war, the most beautiful description you've ever read and a list of names that could've been 20 items shorter but absolutely should not be

Women's Health: Understanding Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a condition that affects pregnant women, characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce enough insulin. This article delves into the causes, diagnosis, symptoms, risk factors, treatments, and potential complications click here to learn more of gestational diabetes, providing essential information for expectant mothers.

What is Gestational Diabetes?

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs exclusively during pregnancy. It arises when the placenta produces hormones that impair the action of insulin in the mother's body, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. This condition is crucial to monitor as it can affect both the mother and the baby.

Diagnosis

Gestational diabetes is typically diagnosed between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy through an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Here’s how the test is conducted:

Fasting Blood Sugar Test: The woman is required to fast for 8-12 hours. Initial Blood Draw: A blood sample is taken to measure fasting blood sugar levels.

Glucose Drink: The woman consumes a sugary drink.

Subsequent Blood Draws: Blood sugar levels are measured at intervals, usually after one and two hours.

If the blood sugar level is below 140 mg/dL after two hours, it is considered normal. Levels above this threshold indicate gestational diabetes.

Causes

Several factors increase the risk of developing gestational diabetes:

Age: Women over 25 years old are at higher risk.

Obesity: Higher body mass index (BMI) increases the likelihood.

Family History: A family history of diabetes can predispose women to gestational diabetes.

Previous Pregnancy: Women who had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy or delivered a large baby (over 9 pounds) are at increased risk.

Excess Amniotic Fluid: Known as polyhydramnios, this condition can be a risk factor.

Treatments

Managing gestational diabetes involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medical interventions:

Diet: A balanced diet low in simple sugars and high in fiber is crucial. The goal is to maintain blood sugar levels between 60 and 120 mg/dL.

Exercise: Regular physical activity, such as walking or swimming, helps control blood sugar levels.

Monitoring: Regular blood sugar testing is essential to ensure levels remain within the target range.

Medication: If lifestyle changes are insufficient, insulin injections or oral medications may be prescribed.

The McPreggo Menu (6/09/24 update)

While I by no means came up with the McPreggo concept, I am a very big fan of it, so I wrote up a hypothetical menu for fun! This menu got a surprising amount of attention and I received a bunch of suggestions for future items. So here, I’ve implemented more of them and given the menu another content update!

If eaten before other McPreggo products, will cause effects of those products to onset over time instead of instantly.

The Baby Burrito

A breakfast burrito for those who are early-risers, this morning meal has scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, melted cheese, and tater tots, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Gives you a singleton at 20 weeks along!

SPECIAL LIMITED TIME ITEMS

These items are only available for small windows of time, and don't interact with our other products due to their unique nature. They’re a big commitment, but provide a very genuine experience. For customers looking for something that takes more dedication than a standard combo meal.

The McCrib~

A special BBQ rib sandwich, only available during the first month of even numbered years. Slow cooked rib meat slathered in BBQ sauce, the McCrib answers the question of “what if humans could properly fully develop in the womb, rather than being born at just 9 months?”. Comparative to most other species, humans give birth very prematurely so that the baby can be safely delivered. McPreggo quantum babies aren’t ever birthed, allowing us to see what life would be like otherwise. Upon consuming a full McCrib, the customer starts on a 21 month pregnancy, spanning 7 trimesters, and allowing the quantum baby to grow to the size and weight of a one year old, with all the challenges and experiences that come with that. A slow burn experience, this pregnancy will include increased weight, size, and strength of the baby inside, finally reaching its apex after almost 2 years of uninterrupted pregnancy. It should be noted that McCrib pregnancies do not stack with each other, so only a singleton may be carried for 21 months. However, other McPreggo products will still function independently, meaning that additional temporary babies may be added, though baby altering effects from items such as the chicken nuggets, will have no effect on the McCrib baby.

The Beastly Burger

An extra large McPreggo burger stacked high with toppings, slathered in a unique “Monster Sauce”, and only sold annually during october. Initiates a 9 month long “anomalous pregnancy”, where the eater becomes pregnant with a mysterious, monstrous entity! Featuring many mouths, eyes, tentacles, and other fun additions that can be felt on the inner walls of the womb! Squirmy and active, it’ll make for a highly engaging and invigorating pregnancy! Will not interact with other McPreggo products, though they can be enjoyed in tandem. (Warning: unusual belly blemishes and strange cravings may occur)

The Festive Feast (Concept By @caitdrawsstuff2)

A unique seasonal item, sold annually during the month of december! A platter of roasted ham, sides of green beans, mashed potatoes, stuffing (with cranberry sauce), a warm roll, and a tall glass of sparkling apple cider (available in a limited time McPreggo branded reusable holiday cup)! Upon completion, initiates a singleton pregnancy which, for the next 12 days, every 24 hours, adds another baby to the consumer’s womb, resulting in full sized DUODECAPLETS by the end. If carrying twelve babies at once wasn’t enough, beginning with the first baby and repeating with each addition, the pregnancy will also incur one of 12 effects. The order of these effects is completely random, meaning only extraordinary lucky patrons will experience the same Festive Feast pregnancy twice.

The possible effects include: +15% extra baby weight, +20% stronger baby activity, +35% brighter stretchmark visibility, +12.5% additional belly length, +12.5% additional belly width, +75% craving and appetite strength, noticeable polyhydramnios, +25% vein visibility, +25% belly skin sensitivity, +12.5% hip width, Popped bellybutton, and 35% darker linea nigra. Effects cannot repeat during a single Festive Feast pregnancy. Will fully stack effects with other McPreggo products, but will continue to progress even after other items wear off. Whole Festive Feasts cannot stack. Festive Feasts are also sold frozen upon request, allowing them to be taken and enjoyed at home! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

The Role of Ultrasound in Antenatal Care: What Your Obstetrician Will Check

Ultrasound is a pivotal tool in antenatal care, providing crucial insights into the health and development of both the mother and the fetus. This non-invasive imaging technique uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the baby and the reproductive organs, helping obstetricians monitor pregnancy progress and detect potential issues.

Here’s a look at the role of ultrasound in antenatal care and what your obstetrician will check during these essential scans.

1. Confirming Pregnancy and Estimating Due Date

Early in pregnancy, ultrasound is used to confirm the presence of a fetal heartbeat and establish the due date. This is typically done through a transvaginal ultrasound in the first trimester, which provides clear images of the early developing fetus and helps verify the gestational age. Accurate dating of the pregnancy is crucial for planning and monitoring subsequent care.

2. Assessing Fetal Development

Ultrasound scans are essential for evaluating fetal development throughout pregnancy. Your obstetrician will use ultrasound to monitor the baby’s growth, check the development of major organs, and assess overall well-being. A detailed anatomy scan is performed in the second trimester, typically between 18 and 22 weeks, to examine the baby’s structure and ensure that organs and limbs are developing typically.

3. Monitoring Amniotic Fluid Levels

The amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is an important indicator of fetal health. Ultrasound helps measure the amniotic fluid levels, revealing conditions such as oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) or polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). Proper fluid levels are essential for cushioning the baby and facilitating normal development and movement.

4. Evaluating Placental Position

The position of the placenta is another critical aspect monitored through ultrasound. Your obstetrician will check for placental abnormalities, such as placenta previa (the placenta covering the cervix) or placental abruption (the placenta detaching from the uterine wall). Monitoring the placenta’s location and condition ensures safe delivery and avoids complications.

5. Detecting Multiple Pregnancies

Ultrasound is also used to determine whether you carry more than one baby. Multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets, require special monitoring and management to ensure the health of both the mother and the babies. Ultrasound helps assess the number of fetuses, their positions, and the presence of any shared placentas or amniotic sacs.

6. Identifying Fetal Position and Presentation

In the later stages of pregnancy, ultrasound helps determine the baby’s position and presentation, such as whether the baby is head-down or breech. This information is valuable for planning the mode of delivery and preparing for any necessary interventions if the baby is in a non-optimal position for a vaginal birth.

Ultrasound is crucial in antenatal care Sydney obstetrician, offering valuable insights into fetal development, placental health, and overall pregnancy progress. By providing detailed images and essential measurements, ultrasound helps obstetricians monitor and manage pregnancy effectively, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby. Regular ultrasound scans are integral to comprehensive antenatal care, helping identify potential issues early and provide timely interventions.

Chỉ số nước ối AFI là gì và có ý nghĩa như thế nào?

Chỉ số nước ối AFI là gì và có ý nghĩa như thế nào?

Chỉ số nước ối AFI (Amniotic Fluid Index) là một phần của quá trình đánh giá nước ối trong tử cung của một bà bầu. Nước ối là chất lỏng trong túi nước ối bao bọc thai nhi trong tử cung và có vai trò quan trọng trong việc bảo vệ và cung cấp môi trường cho sự phát triển của thai nhi. Chỉ số AFI được tính dựa trên k��t quả siêu âm thai kỳ.

Cụ thể, để tính chỉ số nước ối AFI, bác sĩ sử dụng siêu âm thai để đo chiều sâu của túi nước ối ở nhiều vị trí khác nhau trong tử cung của bà bầu. Sau đó, các giá trị đo được tổng hợp lại để tạo thành chỉ số tổng lượng nước ối. Chỉ số AFI thường được tính bằng cm hoặc được đánh giá dưới dạng số.

Ý nghĩa của chỉ số nước ối AFI là đánh giá mức lượng nước ối có sẵn trong tử cung của một bà bầu. Mức nước ối có thể thay đổi theo thời gian trong suốt thai kỳ. Mức nước ối thấp (oligohydramnios) hoặc mức nước ối cao (polyhydramnios) có thể gây ra các vấn đề sức khỏe cho thai nhi và mẹ.

Oligohydramnios (nước ối thiếu): Có thể gây ra vấn đề về phát triển của thai nhi, vấn đề về hệ tiết niệu của thai nhi, hoặc nguy cơ sinh non tăng lên.

Polyhydramnios (nước ối quá nhiều): Có thể gây ra vấn đề về tiền sản giật, khó đặt thai, hoặc vấn đề về dây rốn.

Chỉ số nước ối AFI giúp bác sĩ theo dõi và đánh giá mức nước ối trong tử cung của bà bầu và có thể giúp trong việc xác định xem cần thực hiện các xét nghiệm hay can thiệp y tế nào để bảo vệ sức khỏe của thai nhi và mẹ.
